BOTSWANA
Joy
Griffiths – Pray for
Joy (right) as
she makes preparations to return to
Botswana in October,
having recently been bereaved. Pray
too that the short holiday that she has planned will be beneficial
to her, and that the transition from the UK to Botswana will go
smoothly.
KENYA
 John
and Yokey Roberts (Nairobi) (left)would value
prayer as they reach out to
an Italian neighbour, who spends time once a week with
Yokey for English
conversation. Pray for
S that through contact with
Yokey she will come to know
Christ.
MALAWI
Jonathan
and Ruth Newell (Blantyre) report that Mission worker
Ananda and his wife and
family have arrived from India to help with the work at
Bethel Assembly.
Pray that they would adjust
quickly to life in Malawi, that the children would settle at school
and find friends, and that Ananda
would be a blessing to the evangelistic work in
Blantyre.
JAPAN
David and
Esther Dexter (Miyazaki) ask
prayer regarding the increasing international tension between
China, South Korea and Russia with Japan over various disputed
islands. Pray that this
tension may not continue to escalate but that wisdom may be
exercised on both sides. In addition
David and Esther would value
prayer as they prepare to return to the UK in November, for
the final visits they will make to friends and contacts over the
next few weeks, and for the continuance of the work they have been
involved in.
ARGENTINA
Bobby and
Isobel Jack (Buenos Aires)-
Pray for the Sunday School at
Quilmes which has experienced
a 50% increase in numbers, many of the children coming from broken
homes.
Jeff
Watson (Foz, Brazil)
would value prayer as he
begins evening studies in Puerto
(Argentina) to help build up the local assembly there.
Jim &
Betty Burnett (Parana). The
Paraná Assembly
Conferences are due on
October 5th
to 7th.
They would appreciate
prayer
for a time of blessing. This year, for the first time, a fellowship
lunch is being arranged on the Sunday which may go on to about 4pm.
After that folks who need to travel have time to get back home. For
some time now they have been having a full hall on Sunday evenings
and some have been saved. One of the aspects of present day
evangelism is that most people come with “baggage”. One couple who
lived in a common law relationship for years gave the example and
got married. They were baptized and received into fellowship and
have scarcely missed a meeting or activity since. They are key
helpers in the New outreach in the North of the City.
CANADA
Peter Smith
is busy with 2 weekend conferences at the beginning of October, and
with Elaine
is coming to England between the
11th—30th October,
principally to see their respective “Mums”, but also for some report
meetings.
ALBANIA
Enri and
Sylvia Nase (Tirana) -A regular Saturday children’s meeting
has begun and prayer is asked
that those who attended last year will attend this year along with
many new children. On Saturday evenings they hope to have a tent on
one of the promenades in the City, in order to offer medical
counselling and general health advice to passers-by. During this
time others will give out tracts and share the Gospel. Please
pray for this outreach work.
BELGIUM
Anne
Dryburgh (Kuurne) asks prayer
for several lady contacts who have struggled with their personal
lives but are determined in their search to know the Lord.
Pray for
Anne as she ministers to
‘M’ and
‘C’, and also give thanks
that another contact who has not attended the assembly for 20 years
has now been attending regularly.
ETHNIC
MINORITIES
Ruth Cushing (Wirrall) would value
prayer as she prepares to
travel to Democratic of Congo
and Rwanda in
October.
Pray for safety of travel,
that her visa application will be accepted and available on time,
that she would be blessed and renewed, and also be a blessing to
those she meets.
FRANCE
 Graham
and Alison Black (Bouc Bel Air) - Please continue to
pray for the ‘Voice
of the Gospel’ ministry. One station in North East France
has begun broadcasting the 3 minute and 15 minute messages, and a
station in Africa is also broadcasting the programmes.
Pray for further
opportunities to spread the Gospel through this work.
They aim also
to be able to offer a
Bible Correspondence
Course on every book in the New
Testament. There is still no course for the books of Titus, Philemon
and Revelation. The challenge at the moment is to try and write
courses on the books of Titus and Philemon. Please
pray
along with them that they might be able to get courses written on
these books as quickly as possible.
Alan and
Valerie Kyle (Dunkerque) would value
prayer for
Alan who will be speaking at
a retreat from 16-18th October
and would appreciate prayer
for this event.
Gerry and
Dorothy Seed -‘Le
Livre’ (The Book) is a Christian bookshop operating in the
centre of Nantes for the past
9 years. Gerry and Dorothy
have been involved since its inception, but due to a retirement will
be taking on more responsibility. They would value
prayer for wisdom in
developing this ministry in the city centre.
IRELAND
Michael
McKillen (Gorey) asks us to remember in
prayer the work started
Gorey in 2005, when there
were only 2 believers. Now a small Assembly has been started and
since 2010 has been breaking bread in an upper room above a Café.
LEBANON
Andrea
Smith (Tyre) would value
prayer as another school year begins. Two new families will
be joining the work force at the school, one who has been appointed
as Principal. Pray that as
they get to know each other and adapt to the new surroundings, that
they will find a way of working effectively together.
